Streets are too narrow? The streets that are wide enough you can park down the middle and block no one?

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Are there any signs of life around the old Halls Department Store? That project started in 2014 and is coming up on its second birthday. When I was there at Christmas, there did not seem to be anything going on at all. Have the new owners given any indication on where its headed and when it will get there?

Maybe the new owners could undo the facade remodeling. What once was pretty much a camouflaged parking garage is very much now a very visible parking stack from Ward Pkwy.

Teardown has begun. Any news on project?KCtoBrooklyn wrote:I noticed construction fencing up around these 4 apartment buildings at 45th Terrace and Broadway, just NE of the Plaza. Looks like demolition may be coming:
I really hope this isn't another case of clearing a site without any firm redevelopment plan in place. This seems to keep happening around the plaza - way too many vacant lots right now. I'm not too sad about loosing the two buildings on the east, but the two western buildings could be pretty nice if some work was done to their balconies.

Houston's closing? Wow, that is a tough lunch seat any day of the week and dinner business was always strong on the weekends.

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Keep in mind a new building is about to open on the Plaza. Could the specific location be closing and they're really moving?

I always thought the restaurant group behind Houstons wanted to rebrand all the Houston's restaurants to it's Hillstone concept

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
Isn't Hillstone the name of the company that owns Houstons? I wonder if rather than closing, they just change the name/concept. Houlihans was long the lone casual diner on the plaza with the big menu. Houston's fulfilled that role after they left. If it truly goes, Cheesecake Factory will be the only restaurant of that genre left.brewcrew1000 wrote:I always thought the restaurant group behind Houstons wanted to rebrand all the Houston's restaurants to it's Hillstone concept

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
The Restoration Hardware on the Plaza closed. Too bad, it was a nice looking store.
I wonder what will happen to the space? I hope something great that uses the intact architectural details and maybe even makes use of the movie theater portion. Really hope they don't gut it

Re: Plaza move-ins (ongoing)
i say restore the plaza theater as a theater. could be an event space, concert venue, single-screen premium cinema, etc. they could still have some smaller retail stalls, just not the entire thing.Midtownkid wrote:The Restoration Hardware on the Plaza closed. Too bad, it was a nice looking store.
